Overnight maintenance and safety work starts at Glynn Valley on the A38
Essential overnight safety and repair work will be carried out on the A38 Glynn Valley next week to maintain reliable journeys for road users.
The work will be undertaken between 8pm and 6am for five evenings starting on Monday 9 November.
For the safety of drivers and our workers, a full closure of the road and diversions between Turfdown Cross and Twelvetrees roundabout will be required.
Project Manager, Roger Stribling said:
The work includes road stud renewal and white lining, tree management, safety barrier repairs, sign cleaning and replacements, gully cleaning and road sweeping.
There will also be resurfacing at Doublebois crossroads.
We will also carry out river bank stabilisation next to the A38, requiring the use of a crane between Bodmin Parkway and White Lodge, which will block the trunk road completely each night.
Clearly signed diversion routes will be in place, but we would advise drivers to allow slightly more time to complete their journeys.
Diversions
For residents living in Glynn Valley, who require access during the work, please note the following:
- from Turfdown to Bodmin Parkway station, access will be from Turfdown Roundabout
